Mine was Fortran, I was taught it in my high school, but I did not study it at all, never visited seminars on it. As a result: I almost failed the exam on it, what saved me was my excellent program (which was written by my friend, not by me), …

I'd suggest to compose, firstly, 2 lists of words - one for verbs, another for objects. Then to try find each word from the sentence in these lists... then swap 2 words etc. I think it's pretty clear what I mean.

I'm ready to post links to them. In November 2011 a tremendous fire happened in my house. After it I lost almost everything. Thanks to firemen brigade - they saved the house itself.
